What is real to me may not be real to you
I often wonder why as we are no different
When I hear a bird singing in a tree
Do you hear the same sweet songs
Are you aware of the beauty that surrounds us all
Are you aware of the ugliness that surrounds us all
I feel both these intensely and experience the emotions
But they do not seem to interfere with your life
And you seem to retain a certain almost admirable blandness
You neither laugh or cry as if suffocated in a vacuum
Are you aware that all the roads you see are your freedom roads
I have been aware of this for years but few share this reality
